Working together to support our Veterans and their Families

ASAADMIN • January 23, 2025

The Ancre Somme Association Charity was pleased to host AA Veterans Support Chairman Tom Keenan and AA Veterans Support volunteer Donna Anderson at the charity's Brownlow House headquarter.

Lexi Davidson, Community Development Officer for the Ancre Somme Association Charity, stated that they have been strong supporters of Andy Allen MBE and his charity, AA Veterans Support, for many years.

We were pleased to host Tom and Donna today, facilitating the transfer of funds raised for AA Veterans Support and exploring future collaborative projects that will benefit local veterans, their families, and the community.

Since 2011, AA Veterans Support has provided comprehensive assistance, guidance, and support to serving and former members of the British Armed Forces and their families throughout Northern Ireland.

Building on the successful and well-attended veterans breakfast, both charities are collaborating on a plan to make available support services offered by AA Veterans Support at the Ancre Somme Association's Brownlow House headquarters.

We appreciate Tom and Donna taking the time to meet with us. We look forward to strengthening our relationship and collaborating to support local veterans and their families.
